Su Ji quickly glanced at Pei Huai.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Wei Wei didn’t make a sound for half a minute.
“Bill?” A hint of surprise flashed across her face. “You mean the Hollywood star, Bill?”
She suspected that it might be another person.
Before she went to see Sam, she had gone to Bill many times.
However, Bill didn’t lack money nor fame, so he accepted jobs based on his mood.
He rejected her in the end.
“Yes. He agreed, but I was afraid that you wouldn’t be satisfied, so I didn’t confirm it with him yet.”
This time, Wei Wei was really anxious. “Confirm it! Which phone number did you contact him with? It would be perfect if he could become the spokesperson of Xu Group!”
Xu Mingzhi looked at her daughter and smiled.
Wei Wei still couldn’t figure it out. She wanted to know what she hadn’t done well enough. “Ms. Su, may I ask how you convinced him? I’ve talked to him a few times before, but in the end, the reason he gave me was that he didn’t even endorse his brother-in-law’s products, so why should he endorse us.”
Su Ji glanced at Pei Huai again.
The “brother-in-law” looked at her with a relaxed expression.
Su Ji replied, “I asked Pei Xi to contact him.”
There was a moment of silence at the dining table, and Wei Wei hurriedly saved her phone number.
Xu Mingzhi thanked Pei Huai gently. “Thank you, Pei Huai, for being okay with that.”
Pei Huai smiled gentlemanly. “Don’t worry. Actually, I’ve already found other candidates.”
Su Ji was relieved to hear that.
Wei Wei’s phone call with Pei Xi went smoothly, and the Xu Group was generous with the endorsement fee.
Before she hung up, Pei Xi had heard that Wei Wei was with Su Ji and asked her to pass on a message.
“Ms. Pei asked me to tell you that there will be an event for you tomorrow. You will be singing the theme song of ‘The Billion Stars’ with your colleagues at a brand launch.
It was a normal job, but Wei Wei’s expression looked awkward.
This was because Pei Xi had been addressing Su Ji as her sister-in-law.
Wei Wei felt that it was better not to let the CEO know about this.

After the meal, Xu Mingzhi asked Su Ji to send Pei Huai off. She had too many things to do at the company, so she went back to the study to work.
Pei Huai was holding a thermos and standing in the courtyard with Su Ji.
Su Ji was enjoying the scenery and did not look at him.
Obviously, she felt a little guilty.
Pei Huai looked at her with a half-smile. “You said that you didn’t have a candidate in mind. So you were afraid that I would compete with you?”
Su Ji touched the tip of her nose. “Business is business.”
Pei Huai was just teasing her. He did have another candidate in mind.
Pei Huai took two steps forward.”Now that I’ve given my brother-in-law to you, how are you going to make it up to me?”
“Didn’t you already have a candidate in mind?” Su Ji asked.
“I’m afraid that ‘she’ won’t agree.” Pei Huai sighed. “Can you help me ask ‘her’?”
Su Ji was very forthright. “No problem, where is this person from and what’s her name?”
“From China.” Pei Huai grabbed the back of Su Ji’s neck and pulled her towards him. He leaned down and kissed the corner of her lips. “Su Ji.”
“Yes?” Su Ji thought he was going to tell her something.
When she spoke softly, there was an inexplicable gentleness.
Pei Huai smiled. “The spokesperson I have in mind is Su Ji.”
“Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough!!!”
Upstairs, Xu Mingzhi, who was observing them from the window in the corridor, choked on her tea.
Wei Wei patted her back nervously. “Boss, slow down.”
Xu Mingzhi took a long time to recover. “Pei Huai was probably just blowing sand out of my daughter’s eyes, right?”
Without waiting for Wei Wei to answer, she answered her own question. “That must be the case!”
“…”
In order not to destroy the good image he had just built in his future mother-in-law’s heart, Pei Huai drove quite a distance away from the villa area, pretending to be going home. Then, he went back to the building next to Su Ji’s and parked the car in the garage.
Su Cunyi was sitting on the small single armchair in the living room that belonged to him. When he saw Pei Huai coming back, he had a lot of questions to ask.
“Nothing happened last night. I’m going up.”
Before he could say a word, Pei Huai retorted with a single sentence.
Su Cunyi sniffed and smelled a faint smell of Chinese medicine.
**
The next morning, Zhang Guihua, who had vomited and had diarrhea for several days, was finally discharged from the hospital.
Su Qianrou and Su Junye had recovered at about the same time as her.
They took the car back to the Su residence. Zhang Guihua asked Aunt Zou and found out that her son had not returned home.
“He must be possessed!”
Ever since her return, nothing had gone smoothly!
She had abstained from meat and prayed to Buddha for a few months. How could this be?
Furthermore, she was hospitalized!
Aunt Cui was a little flustered now. She moved closer to Zhang Guihua mysteriously. “Old Madam Su, I think there’s something weird about the eldest miss. When I went to get the medicine, she said that you would vomit and have diarrhea after taking the medicine, but this prescription was bought from the temple. There shouldn’t be a problem. Why don’t we treat her better in the future?”
After this incident, she was really a little scared.
However, when she saw that the old madam’s expression was getting uglier and uglier, she did not dare to continue. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s hum. “Anyway, I feel that every time we speak ill of the eldest miss, something bad will happen!”
“Nonsense!” Zhang Guihua said harshly, “do you mean that I should not believe in Buddha in the future and change my belief to Su Ji? I think you’re also possessed! Bad things would happen if we say bad things about her? Then I’ll say it! She, Su Ji, is the cursed daughter of that woman! She’s our nemesis!”
“Swish…”
As soon as she finished speaking, a white ball quickly flew toward her.
Fortunately, Aunt Cui was quick to react and pulled her away.
The ball grazed the side of her nose and landed on the mailbox in front of the Su family’s house.
With a loud bang, the mailbox’s cover was smashed open.
A baseball rolled on the ground.
“Who threw tha ball? Are you okay? ”
Zhang Guihua calmed down and suddenly laughed. “See that? I just said bad things about Su Ji. Did something bad happen? How superstitious!”
However, Aunt Cui noticed that there seemed to be a letter in the mailbox.
She took it and handed it to Zhang Guihua.
Zhang Guihua tore open the letter with an indifferent expression.
She took out a folded piece of paper and opened it. There were two lines on it.
[ “City A Supreme Court” ]
[ “Summon.” ]
